Nets are gonna flirt with the playoffs. The stubborn people on that pick have to give in at some point
That's a stretch. They'd have to jump Charlotte, Orlando, Miami, Washington, and New York just to get to #8. I don't see them sniffing the playoffs.
But I do think they can keep pace and win 30-32 games which would likely put the pick in the 6-8 range. I'm hopeful they can do better than that but not much.
I absolutely expect them to jump Orlando. Orlando had a nice win over a dysfunctional okc team last night but they have played like one of the worst teams in the league since a hot start. I'm not sold on the Knicks being 20 wins better than last year just from dumping Carmelo. Wall is injured right now and charlotte seems like a mess. There is also a difference between flirting with and making it. By that I mean they could still be hanging around 3 games out of it in April. If you look at their scores and schedule they have been in just about every game and have lost a few they probably should have won. They have also already made two west coast trips
I hope you're right.
